The University Counseling Center (UCC) at Southeastern Louisiana University will sponsor

Annette Baldwin, Assistant Director of Outreach and Programming for the Southeastern
UCC, said conference highlights include the Terrell Award Presentation, and tour of
the new LION UP Recovery Space. Thursday and Friday includes a full day of continuing
education opportunities for counseling and other mental health professionals in the
areas of supervision, ethics and diagnosis, as well as the expo and lunch networking
events.

“Participants will be able to connect with an expanded program of presenters this
year,” Baldwin said. “The Conference Expo will showcase mental health professionals
dedicated to various aspects of mental health treatment and recovery.”

Flowers is quoted as saying “Many questions go unanswered from hasty or uninformed
decisions for treatments, therapies and healthcare, which often results in miss-diagnosis
and untreated symptoms of the individual. The results of a Comprehensive Diagnostic
Evaluations provide solutions for the best diagnostic criteria, treatment planning
and treatment options to provide the client or loved one the best opportunity for
living the best life possible.”

Dr. Flowers is one of the most familiar and respected names in the area of pain recovery,
chronic pain, and addiction. A leader in the field, his history in evaluation and
treatment of chronic pain and co-occurring addiction has led to an exceptionally distinguished
career. With fellowship training in behavioral pain management, Dr. Flowers completed
clinical rotations at The University of Washington, The Rosomoff Comprehensive Center
for Pain, The University of Miami, and The Mayo Clinic.

Registration costs, which include special rates for students and other details can

The conference honors Tom Terrell, former director for the UCC, for his work with
students, faculty and staff at Southeastern, as well as the leadership roles he played
with the Louisiana Professional Counseling Association. Terrell was instrumental in
developing the Louisiana licensure law for mental health professionals and played
a key role in achieving accreditation of the Southeastern UCC with the International
Association of Counseling Services.

“The UCC has worked with our university and mental health community partners to bring
another great conference for professionals, faculty, staff and graduate students,”
said Baldwin. “We are excited to host our LION UP Recovery (Collegiate Recovery Program)
space as part of the program as well as present how collegiate recovery programs create
recovery ready communities.”
